Dealing With Matter

Sometimes words skillfully spoken To play the slots insert the tokens Pull the handle and play the dare You really believe the game is fair? You believe all is fair in love and war? You believe in what you’re fighting for? Lets take philosophy just a little deeper Climb the mountain that is a little steeper As you’re playing this game of win and lose How comfortable do you feel in your shoes? Do they fit your feet just like a glove? As you walk in them are you full of love? Do you offer your heart to your neighbor? Is friendship the thing you truly savior? Each question is another roll of the dice Before you answer ponder them twice The game is as fair as you choose to believe Is not war something that we all should grieve? If we fight for right what more can we do? The longer you wear it the comfortable the shoe May our shoes fit our feet like our souls fit our skin? Let us all meet each stranger with a heartfelt grin Let us show our neighbors the beauty of our love Let our lives represent the good Lord above What you believe is real is what’s on the platter For all is an illusion when dealing with matter
